The minister stressed that a comprehensive and progressive approach was needed, saying that every solution must put people at the centre.

He wished that the international community and the UN would create favourable conditions for dialogue and reconciliation in Myanmar as well as continue supporting ASEAN’s central role and efforts.

Speaking highly of the UN’s support for ASEAN and Myanmar, Sơn said that he backed coordination between Heyzer and ASEAN Chair’s Special Envoy in the near future.
